amazing locationstylish decorationhelpful staffnoticeable music
the hotel location is amazing, so close to many attractions. i especially liked the stylish decoration in the rooms. the staff was helpful and also friendly. i even received a thank you gift. it was a nice surprise i hadn't received before.
i found that the surrounding area can get a little noisy at night. music from nearby clubs was audible until the early hours. closing the window and using the air conditioning helped a bit, but it was still noticeable.

the breakfast buffet offered many choices, including tasty local dishes and international options. it was a cheaper option than the nearby cafes. the quality and price were balanced well.
